Hope Green are absolutely delighted with their Christmas trees this year and have enjoyed helping out with directing which trees should go into which rooms, what colour decorations to choose and whether it should be a star or a fairy on the top. It was lovely to chat together whilst sipping warm drinks and discuss our favourite things of Christmas time, memories of Christmas mornings and how the weather is often not as cold and snowy as we'd expect.

The residents have been busy getting the Home ready for Christmas by helping decorate the Christmas Trees. They have also created a magnificent Christmas Display using lots of textures, some glitter (of course!) and a real scarf for the snowman knitted by one of the residents.

We have kick started off our Christmas activities by decorating some yummy gingerbreads followed by our first Carmel choir carol practice. It was lots of fun and really got us in the Christmas spirit.

We enjoyed a Christmas special concert earlier this month by one of our favourite singers Dean Sinclair, he sang classic songs and definitely bought in some Christmas cheer as residents sung and danced along.

We were overjoyed by the turnout to our Carol Concert. Our residents had the most wonderful time welcoming friends and families to join us for carols, home made mince pies and mulled wine.

Thank you to all the staff of Clarendon Court who gave so generously to the Reverse Advent Calendar for Nantwich Food Bank. We were able to donate so much food, gifts and toiletries to help those in need this festive period.

Our chef Caitlin was overjoyed to win one hundred pounds worth of amazon vouchers on the MMCG's daily advent calendar giveaway. Staff have really enjoyed logging on each day to see whose name pops up among the winners. We are all very pleased to see Caitlin win.

Not only has Chloe completed her 12 week induction she has been nominated as Worker Bee for December. Worker bee is voted for by staff and residents. Chloe has become a firm favourite with the residents for her can do attitude and nothing is too much trouble. Chloe is well liked by all staff and an asset to the Cavendish Court family. Enjoy your voucher Chloe....just in time for Christmas!

Our residents spent the afternoon hanging a decoration on our Tree of Hope. The tree is a way to remember loved ones we have lost, sad and difficult times through the pandemic but also importantly to remember the hope we have for the future

With Christmas around the corner at Birch Heath Lodge everyone has been getting in the festive spirit. Gifts are coming in and we are appreciative of everyone's kindness and thoughts.

The season`s festivities will continue and we look forward to share these experiences with you all.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us!
